Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Thursday after Paul Manafort’s sentencing that he feels “terrible” about how Manafort was treated “up to this point.”

“I think it’s not American to keep a man in solitary confinement to try to crack him,” he added, according to the Associated Press. 

He said that he had not spoken to President Donald Trump about the sentencing.

  1. Oh Rudy…there is a thick line between protective custody and solitary confinement…or were you HOPING in the next 36 months he was in the general population? THAT would take care of your problems for you. Some felons don’t like it when old white men get out with a slap on the wrist…

  2. Fuck your Feelings, Rudy.

  3. “I think it’s not American to keep a man in solitary confinement to try to crack him,” he added, according to the Associated Press.

    Did Giuliani ever speak up about things that happened at Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, and elsewhere?

  4. Ghoulsie, the only pardon it’s personally safe for you to be sniffing around involves a turkey.

    Another turkey. One with wings.

  5. I’m sure he expressed similar thoughts about the Mafia bosses he prosecuted…NOT. Why do we continue to hear from this pathetic has-been? His opinions are of no value and I do believe he’s suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s.
